Vantaggi

Entry-level experience.. if you're okay with hating your job then it's fine.

Svantaggi

You'll never ever get to come up with an original idea and contribute it. You have no sense of autonomy at all. There's no creativity, decision-making, or control over your career or your DAY. You are simply told exactly what to do, and are expected to do it (the same exact thing, everyday, for 8 hours...). Your own ideas or opinions are not welcome or encouraged. This is a very monotonous job, with no room for growth or promotion. Even the managers I feel bad for. They are taught a terrible management style. Management is so petty, controlling, gossip-driven, and they really mimic bullying in some ways. Once they decide they don't like you, they will make your life hell in every way possible. Also, the surveillance of employees is disturbing. Overall, I look back at my time at CoStar and thank the stars above I'm not there anymore. I absolutely LOVE my job now and see an incredible difference between a company run correctly and CoStar's train wreck. I can't express to you enough..... DON'T WORK THERE. It's degrading.

As an entry level role, researchers start out by building up skills and knowledge to be able to do the job. As more experience is gained, researchers are able to take on new responsibilities, which give greater freedom by becoming a trusted source of information by clients, a lead on projects and more. Our clearly designed career paths allow researchers to choose what direction they would like to work toward – whether it’s a managerial or analytic role. As does any other company providing a service via phone, we record our phone calls to be able to check for quality assurance, but also so our researchers can listen back to their own calls and check for any details they may have missed while inputting information into the system. This is to provide researchers with the right instruction to be able to grow and develop further in their career with the right tools, not about surveillance. To ensure they are using the best communication possible, our managers are regularly given the opportunity to attend training on developing positive working relationships with their employees. Similar training sessions are now being offered to our senior research associates as well, so they can develop necessary managerial skills prior to taking on a formal manager role. Some roles are just not for everyone. It sounds like you have found one that is better suited to you.

Vantaggi

I worked for Homes.com - Great first job out of college to learn a lot about sales and can make good money in the first 3 months - FIND PEOPLE THAT HAVE DONE THIS JOB AND HAVE LEFT AND FIGURE OUT WHY CUZ THEY'LL TELL YOU

Svantaggi

I worked for Homes.com - You're doing 3 jobs in one and the pay does not reflect that - it is churn and burn. The average tenure here is 7 months - Management doesn't know what's going on 3/4 of the time. It is all up to the CEO and he's on his private jet more than 3/4 of the time
